On February 11, 2026, at approximately 11 p.m., troopers assigned to the New York State Police Poughkeepsie barracks responded to a report of a two-vehicle personal injury collision, southbound on the Taconic State Parkway near mile marker 59.1 in the Town of Clinton.
An investigation conducted by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Poughkeepsie and Troop K’s Collision Reconstruction Unit determined that a 2025 GMC operated by Jeffrey P. Tennent, 65, of Bolton Landing, New York, was traveling southbound when it struck Shutong Li, 34, of Chappaqua, New York, who was outside of his vehicle in the right lane. The GMC then continued southbound and struck Li’s disabled vehicle, a 2024 Lexus that was partially parked on the shoulder.
Li was transported to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital with serious injuries. Tennent, who was not injured, remained at the scene with police.
Li later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
